How Do You Wash Your Face? - Beauty & Cosmetics Message Board

Just wondering, but how do you wash your face? Do you use a simple washcloth and water or do you use facial products? What facial products do you use and why? I use Suave's Foaming Facewash because it's inexpensive. I read somewhere that you should wash your face with cold water because it opens your pores and so I do that too.

Actually, warm/hot water opens pores and cold water closes them. I use whatever to clean my face. i'm not loyal to a brand. I tend to go back and forth between things from Carol's Daughter, Philosophies, Origins, and the drugstore! I'm not real picky, it just can't have a scent.

I wash my face with warm water and Noxema Triple Clean. It has really helped with my clogged pores.

I use Dove with a Buf Puf (extra gentle) for the little extra exfoliating effect that you can't get from a washcloth. I've been using these for so long that I don't feel clean with a washcloth. And then I rinse with warm water, pat dry, and while my skin is still damp, I use a good face cream on my entire face, paying close attention to the skin around my eyes. I've tried some of the other cleansers like Ponds, and my face doesn't feel 'clean' with them. I did use to use Noxzema when I was younger and loved it - loved the way it cleaned, the way it smelled. I think that's a wonderful cleanser for younger girls, it's been around for years and is still one of our favorites.

You're right 2boysmomma. I did some research and most websites recommend using warm water to open and declog the pores. Thanks for setting me straight girl!!
